Hello again bononos. I am sorry I wasn't able to post again sooner. I never know how soon anyone will post a reply, so I apologize. Thank you for the added info. It will come in good use. I recently learned my ex was collecting unemployment and has now filed for a decrease in child support. My hearing is on Monday. I spoke with workers compensation in Florida and have asked for their help. I am waiting for a call back. I also found out from the court that he has a new job now as of March 20th. I am really afraid of him being granted a decrease and hope they'll take into consideraton the contempt of the court order and working under the table while claiming he wasn't able to work. I can't beleive you have one of these losers as well. There MUST be something you can do! Can you report this to the unemployment office? Can't someone investigate it? I would think that the court would be interested in that and hold him in contempt as well. I sincerely hope you find justice. I mean, What do we have to do to be heard on this?! It's rediculous. I am glad I met someone who has something in common with me. Thank you for replying. I will be back in the morning. Sincerely, MomInPa
I've reported him to the IRS and unemployment.
When he was collecting assistance, I reported it to them.
They don't contact me back as to any investigation or outcome.
The only light ahead I have is that when ex did work (even though he did earn more than he claimed) he was earning $16.00/hr. He was fired, and USUALLY, not always, being fired is considered a voluntarily reduction in income.
So, once my custody mod. is done, which the hearing has been moved but should be around the middle of May, I can file to mod. support.
I will be askeing his income be put at $16.00/hr since he was fired and he is capable of earning that and hasn't bothered to get new employment in 7 months. If he doesn't bother to try to get a job byt the time the custody is done and a hearing is set for CS, it will most likely be a year or more since he was employed.
Have you thought about doing your own PI work.
I've considered it.
But, not done it.
Go around clicking pictures of him working.
Have these pics. not only for CS, but send them out the the agencies he is screwing as anonymous evidence. (IRS or unemployment)
One issue of custody was ex filed contempt against me for enrolling our son in a preschool/daycare program. He agreed and provided 1/2 the first months tuition. Then, nothing the next month so I filed for CS to be changed to add the cost.
He waited 6 months after our son was in the program, 5 days before the CS hearing to file contempt. (we currently have joint legal and decisions)
Therefore, until the custody mod. and the contempt (these issue were consolidated together into one custody hearing) I have been footing the FULL bill. Son has been in the program now a year since he filed this contempt. That's how long the custody stuff is taking ( evaluation).
By the way, GOOD LUCK MONDAY!!!!!
